| [TV] Getting FibeTV FTTH, can i use a PC tuner card? Can i hook the Bell receiver up to any tuner card? I don't have a TV and don't wanna buy one, I'd rather use my PC monitor. |

| Yes you can, but the menu and changing channels will be slow. |

It will work, but you won't get HD, unless your tuner card has Component or HDMI inputs.
Another alternative is if you have a monitor that supports HDCP you can purchase an HDMI switch and hook up the receiver directly to your monitor and bypass your computer all together. |

The specs for my monitor says "Connectivity options with DVI with HDCP and VGA inputs"

If I want to use headphones, would this work for audio?

HDMI and RCA Audio Out can both work at the same time? |
